Which phone are you getting after reading reviews?

I was 98% certain I wanted the 6 Plus but after reading some reviews, I'm only like 60% certain. It really does sound massive.
Still getting 5.5". According to Note users it can take a week or longer to get used to the size, so maybe the reviewers didn't haves it long enough. Plus the verge review marked it down due to software glitches rather than the size. I'm sure any bugs will be fixed with an update
I'll make my final decision at the Apple Store after trying both phones for size.
I use my cell phone as a phone first, then email, then text, then everything else. So the 6 was the best choice for me.
It's not a bad question. I was wondering about this myself. I'll admit to being a bit alarmed after seeing some people getting stopped on the street in a video and asked for their impressions and the 6Plus looked honking huge in their hands. But I've had a Hitachi G1000 for a year and if I could lug that phone around and enjoy it as much as I did, I will probably like the 6plus. And if not, I can always use it as a baking pan, or a snowboard, or a dinner tray. 
I'm actually even more glad now I bought the 5.5". I knew the Plus was going to be a good phone with a lot of battery however I didn't think it was going to be that good! I'm very excited for this phone because I do have to plug my 5s in at least once during the day. It seems with normal usage the Plus will go for 2-3 days.
Three things really sold me on the 5.5" phone. 1) the battery life, 2) screen size, 3) OIS camera.

The 6 Plus will be fun at first for iPhone users because this is the first big screen phone they've ever seen probably, but after a while, you will get sick of it.
The 6 Plus is HUGE for that screen size. It'll be in the way constantly and will be bothering you all the time.

That's because you don't own it yet. Wait until you have that skateboard in your pants all day.
How am I reading minds?
What phone do you own now? Have you ever had to live with a 6.22" phone in your pocket?
I have a 5 right now but guess what? I know how big the 6 Plus is and I've carried large things around before. So your statement of fact? Not so factual after all. More like rank speculation. Rank, presumptive speculation based on the idea that everyone is exactly like you. World doesn't work like that, bud.
Since when can you see the future, let alone me and other people who ordered the iPhone 6 Plus?
I think I'll be rather happy with the Plus because I do have big hands. I can hold an iPad mini in portrait mode, with my hand wrapping around the device and figures on the other side comfortably. The Plus will be perfect.
I can't agree enough. After having the Note 2, Note 3, G2, and now the G3, I can say that while it's nice for multimedia, it's a pain when walking with it as it rubs against your leg due to the height of it, and it gets old fast trying to use it two handed.
The novelty wore off for me, now I want a smaller phone.
